Did you download it from here? Odd, I played through that with no problem. But I think it was with DOSBox 0.70. Anyway there seem to be reports about similar crashes with 0.65.

Yes, I've downloaded it from here!
And I'm using the DOSBox-Version 0.71, so I don't think it's a problem with the version-number.

I've started the game alternate with "D-Fend v2".
I can talk with the prisoner three sentences and then I get this failure:

Translated in English it's:
Can't find "encouter keyword 1" 'greet' in "encounter 5"
Press "F" to continue
Press "ESC" to quit

So, when I press the F-Button, I don't have the option "Greet" in the Multiple-Choice menu on the right side of the window, only "Dead" - and when I press "Dead" nothing happens.

That's very strange!

It's strange indeed because it sounds much like a missing game file problem, but I downloaded it from here and it worked. Do you know if dialogues are different for different characters (it didn't give me that impression)? I was playing with the bearded big guy.

You can find Anvil of Dawn, the FULL CD-ROM version (with speech and other extra niceties) on a few torrent sites. Look around for it. Don't download it as part of a "Abandonware" pack torrent, however; those usually just contain the floppy-diskette version.

I would post the link to torrent I got it from here, but I doubt I could find it again = ( It's just one of those unfortunate circumstancesthat I can't seem to find the torrent, so I don't intend to EVER delete this from my hard drive. I wish the rest of you better luck, though.

The speech...totally worth it. The female voice actress is amazing, as is her male counterpart. She makes the characters she speaks through come alive, and reads their lines professionally, with inspiring emotion and a dramatic (though not corny) flair. It simply makes this game 100% better.

I totally agree about the CD-ROM, it is just so much better with voices.

I got myself a copy of eBay a while ago.

By the way, in case it was not mentioned, make sure you have the latest version (there is a an official patch floating around) otherwise the game might crash as you try to leave the castle you teleport to in the begining.

This game is really amazing, even though fighting is tedious, the story line is awesome: from the book shackled in the tree, the demon under the sea, and so on.

If you get tired from the fighting, and you find yourself spending too much time waiting around to heal, cheating is always an option makes life easier and also get access to some spells that are impossible to find.

What is the difference between the 'old exe' and the other exe (anvil.exe)?

because if i want to install the patch i have to use the old exe.

Any suggestion?
